Financial technology provider SunGard has launched a platform, dubbed APT Enterprise, designed to provide integrated risk management via an interactive risk dashboard for the buy side, according to a company statement.
The new platform aims to give asset managers an independent view of market and liquidity risk by improved modelling of multi asset class portfolios and optimizing workflow for market data management.
The platform will enable asset managers “to create enhanced investment strategies, and to realize operational efficiency through the automation of highly customizable risk reports,” according to the statement.
APT Enterprise provides coverage of liquid and illiquid assets, unlisted funds, and “virtually every type of derivative product.”
“The buy side is already learning to combine simulation and factor model approaches, consolidate risk systems and introduce an integrated approach to risk management,” says Peyman Mestchian, a managing partner at Chartis Research, in a prepared statement.
“When firms can realize the advantages of enterprise-wide market risk systems, and tell the whole story of risk on a portfolio, investors are even more likely to buy into their strategies,” Mestchian says. “Crucial therefore is for firms to develop a risk management culture and with timely efficient reporting platforms to mitigate the dangers of siloed risk thinking.”
